Observation of a Nearly Field-Independent Ferromagnetic Resonance Frequency in an Epitaxial Co25Fe75 Thin Film.

We investigate the dynamic magnetic properties of an epitaxial Co25Fe75 thin film grown on a MgAl2O4 (001) substrate using broadband ferromagnetic resonance (VNA-FMR). The film exhibits a pronounced fourfold symmetry of the resonance field, characteristic of cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy. By combining broadband and angular-dependent FMR measurements, we determined a spectroscopic g-factor of 2.083 ± 0.017, an effective magnetization of 1655 ± 31 kA/m, and a cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy field of 28.25 ± 0.22 mT. Beyond the expected angular dependence of the resonance field, we experimentally demonstrated a pronounced flattening of the frequency versus magnetic field dependence for magnetic field direction located between the principal crystallographic axes. The effect, predicted by conventional ferromagnetic resonance theory but not previously investigated in detail, originates from the equilibrium rotation of the magnetization and is quantitatively described within the Stoner-Wohlfarth framework. For ϕH = 34°, the resonance frequency remained nearly constant over the magnetic field interval from 6.8 to 26.2 mT at room temperature. A comparison with other (001)-oriented epitaxial magnetic films revealed that similar frequency plateaus can occur over frequencies ranging from 0.9 to 12.35 GHz and over magnetic field intervals from 0.5 to 63 mT. These findings establish a route toward microwave devices that are insensitive to fluctuations in the applied magnetic field and motivate further studies of spin-wave dynamics in this regime.
